I’ve been a rule follower all my life--because consequences suck. So, finding a career serving in audit and governance roles wasn’t intentional, but it was a fit. My work provided a unique perspective so downside risks could be assessed, measured, or avoided altogether. I could make a difference. The skills I’ve developed in leadership positions have equipped me to contribute beyond a fundamental assurance provider role. Having the courage to respectfully question and challenge the norm has created many strategic partnerships and established me as a trusted adviser: collaborative, not combative; synergistic, not self-preserving. I like seeing the big picture and having a holistic view of an organization. See more, understand more, impact more. I’m a leader more than a visionary. In Marvel terms, Nick Fury was the visionary, Captain America was the leader. I’ll never be mistaken for Cap, but I keep a cool head when the proverbial bullets are flying. Leading teams to leverage critical thinking and develop actionable recommendations and solutions to improve business outcomes is my super-power. Authentic, consistent, and reliable performance gives me the credibility to successfully influence positive, productive outcomes on the front lines, in the C suite, and in the Boardroom. In fact, those relationships are far more memorable and rewarding than results like these: •Directed the risk assessment, planning, scheduling, supervision, execution, reporting, and issue tracking of SOX, operational, financial, and IT assurance programs. Applied COSO 2013 Risk Management Framework reducing entity level controls required to be tested by 70%. •Realized a 15% increase in operational audit coverage through SOX program efficiency gains with no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified. •Created and carried out a four-year strategic plan and roadmap, preparing the department to undergo its first external quality review. Achieved the highest rating possible and 100% compliance with IIA Standards.
